Ford’s Abandoned Plant To Be Used By Warner Bros.
It looks like the plant in Wixom, Michigan that Ford used to use as a manufacturing plant will now be turned into a movie studio. Apparently Warner Bros. is thinking about using it for a short amount of time.
The production company has confirmed that it toured the plant for the first time about four months ago with officials from Ford present. When contacted for comment, a Ford spokesperson said only that the automaker would prefer to do something worthwhile with its old plant, but had no announcements to make.
Measuring in at over four-million square-feet, the old building has plenty of room and Warner Bros. would build a “small city” around the space, hiring between sixty and one-hundred permanent employees plus many part-timers and contract workers — certainly a boon for the city’s lagging economy.
